One of the most formidable rule of shopping is not to settle on the first price you see. I was looking for a skin for my iPhone, and was browsing at one of the IT mall at Hua Qiang Bei. As I was going up the escalator on the first floor, I spotted the item I wanted, it was RMB 35 for one, with a simple question,’can it be cheaper’, the price drop to RMB 30. It was a little more than what I was willing to pay for a piece of rubber. So I soldiered on to the 4th floor and came across another shop, with many more color choices and the price was RMB 15. With much haggling, the price remained the same. So I bought two, for the price that I would pay to get one on the first floor. This is why, never settle for the first price you see. You never, know, it might be much cheaper just a few floors up. Oh, by the way, pink is for my wife, so don’t get any funny ideas.
